Default Crossfire Question

Hey guys the po of my 82 is a forum member and knew more about Vettes than I ever will but I discovered something odd on my car. The vac line from the Pcv has been blocked as has the hole in the air cleaner. Some small mods have been made to the car but not much; 1.5 rockers, headers, new exhaust that retained the cat. aluminum radiator, electric fans, and a few other minor mods. The car runs fine and strong for what it is, could there be a reasonto block the PCV? Thanks in advance!!!

Lack of knowledge of it's function and how it has no effect on performance.

82s have a history of vac leaks.maybe it was blocked off thinking it was a problem or it was a test that did not get fixed again.does your car have cruise control?that is where the vacuume comes from. it is on a t at the pcv.
